I know that you are at peace now, Pawpaw, and I hope you know just how much I loved you, not as a father in law, but as a father to me. Your presence in my life will be missed so much, phone calls every night to check on you, seeing you in your chair, having to turn down that TV so we could talk to you, and just plain being there for me when I needed you, will be remembered and treasured. I am SO glad we got to see the Lights at the Speedway, I am SO glad you decided to go to Joyces house and let Todd pick you up at Christmas. I know now, you were so tired, but you still went. I hope you know how respected and loved you really were. Sam and I saw and felt that love and respect when we laid you beside Rachel.
Rest in peace, Pawpaw, and know that your time here with us was a great blessing to all who knew you.
Goo' Night, Pawpaw...
Say Hello to All those we miss down here, and we will see you when our time, too has come. I know you will be the one standing tall and straight, no aches, no pains, with that great big smile and those bright blue eyes.
I love you, We all love you.

I am very sorry to hear about your loss. Your father and my father worked together for many years with the Town of Landis and Rozelle. My father (Jack Sells) passed away last Febuary. They are reunited right now picking up where they left off, telling war stories.
